Chapter Ninety-Three: The Master's Different Fate (4)

“Change my fate? What do you mean?”

For a moment, the Grandmaster did not understand what Lin An meant.

He even thought that Lin An, in repayment for his kindness, wanted to use the power behind him to help fulfill some wish of his own.

“Truthfully, merely being able to watch a genius be born right under my nose is already more than enough for me,” Lin An said with a shake of his head, knowing the Grandmaster still had not grasped his meaning.

“I can give you a chance to start over. I can even let you choose your martial soul again, so that you will no longer be merely a theoretical grandmaster—indeed, even a martial soul that cannot compare to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.”

“What? That... impossible!”

The Grandmaster shook his head in alarm. A martial soul was innate; from the moment of birth, it was already fixed. Throughout history, no one had ever been able to alter their martial soul, not even a god.

Lin An’s words were so absurd that the Grandmaster did not immediately realize Lin An already knew his identity.

“Nothing is impossible. Before you met me, didn’t you also think that everything about me was full of impossibilities?” Lin An knew his words would be a tremendous shock to the Grandmaster, but they were indeed the truth.

Because the Hall of Yama could help him accomplish exactly this.

The Grandmaster fell silent for a long time. Though he still felt that such a thing was utterly impossible, too many impossible things had already happened around Lin An.

Thinking back on the first half of his life, the reason he had ended up staying in Nuo Ding City was not because he possessed a useless martial soul and could never break through to level thirty?

If he had been a genius, if he had possessed a powerful martial soul, would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan really have driven him out of the family? Would his first love have left him?

If he had been a genius, his fate would surely have been transformed beyond recognition.

“Really... possible?”

The Grandmaster looked up at Lin An and murmured the words.

“As long as you are willing, I can give you this chance. The prerequisite is that you must be willing to trust me,” Lin An said.

“I believe you!”

The Grandmaster continued, for by now he was alone in the world, and there was nothing on him worth Lin An deceiving him for.

Moreover, after spending so much time together, he felt Lin An was not the sort of person with ill intentions.

“Very well. Then let us begin.”

With that, Lin An brought the Grandmaster directly into the Hall of Yama.

Not far away stood Little Violet. The Grandmaster looked around in shock, every move Lin An made seeming capable of shattering his entire worldview.

Perhaps Lin An truly did have a way to accomplish this.

A flash of sword light cut through the air. Under the Grandmaster’s disbelieving gaze, his body was severed from his head; the next instant, he appeared before Lin An in the form of a soul.

He did not ask Lin An why he had killed him, nor did he ask how Lin An intended to give him a powerful martial soul.

Even now, he was still willing to believe Lin An.

The fleshly body reconstructed by the third-level Hall of Yama was several times stronger than before, and it required far fewer soul points.

Lin An did not waste words either. He simply used soul points to help the Grandmaster rebuild a body even younger and more vigorous than the one he had before.

“How is this possible? Even the gods of legend probably could not achieve something like this, could they?”

Feeling the sensation of having a body again, the Grandmaster felt as though he had been completely renewed, as if he were a different person entirely. It was so unreal that his whole being seemed to drift in a dream.

Everything was too incredible.

Lin An searched the bloodline market for a powerful bloodline and ultimately chose the Azure Dragon bloodline.

Although it cost forty thousand soul points, Lin An felt it was worth every one.

Of course, this Azure Dragon bloodline was not the true Azure Dragon bloodline, but a somewhat lesser variant. After all, truly supreme bloodlines started at no less than one million points, and with Lin An’s current soul points, he could not afford one.

The next moment, a lifelike miniature Azure Dragon appeared in Lin An’s palm, then drifted lightly toward the Grandmaster, who had just acquired his new body.

At present, the Grandmaster did not need to go to the Spirit Hall to undergo the awakening ceremony; he could directly summon his own martial soul on the spot.

“Is this my new martial soul?”

Lin An had actually done it. His new martial soul was one he had never seen before, yet that did not affect his judgment in the slightest. His martial soul was definitely among the most top-tier on the continent of Douluo, one that even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan’s martial soul could not compare to.

What delighted him most was that even after acquiring a new martial soul, his former Blue Serpent Spear was still there as well.

By that count, he appeared to have a twin martial soul.

“Your martial soul is called the Azure Dragon. It has wings on its back, commands thunder and lightning, and is also the sovereign of wind and rain...”

With Lin An’s explanation, the Grandmaster finally understood just how powerful his new martial soul truly was.

“I never expected that something I did on a whim would bring about such a change. Calling you my second father would not be the least bit excessive. If there is ever anything you need me to do in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

The Grandmaster nearly knelt before Lin An. As he had said, calling him a second father was not at all an exaggeration.

“Even so, there are some things I should make clear to you in advance, namely the Hall of Yama...”

Lin An explained many matters regarding the Hall of Yama to the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang would be the first person in the Douluo Continent to become part of the Hall of Yama. Half a year later, once Lin An left the Douluo Continent, he would be counting on Yu Xiaogang to establish City God shrines across the land and gather soul points.

Lin An believed that with the Grandmaster’s help, the soul points he would be able to recover in the future would far exceed what he had spent here.

“From now on, you can also directly fuse two soul rings. Go out now and look for soul beasts.”

Lin An said.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, a trace of anticipation rising in his heart. Once he found soul rings suited to him, how much would his strength improve?

From this moment on, he could no longer be called merely a support type, could he?

Over the course of a single night, with Lin An’s help, Yu Xiaogang successfully fused two soul rings and became a level twenty-six soul master.

“It is about time now. We should return to Nuo Ding City.”

Yu Xiaogang’s face was filled with emotion. In just a few short days, he had been completely remade and now possessed a powerful martial soul.

A faint anticipation also stirred within him. One day, if he were to appear before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan in a powerful, domineering manner, and stand before that person again, what expression would they have when they looked at him anew?
